Scott Logic was founded in 2005 by Gary Scott, who was Head of Fixed Income Analytics at Lehman Brothers. Since then, we have worked with eight of the ten biggest investment banks, three of the top five UK retail banks, and a number of other financial services organisations.

Our tailored solutions
While our approach is always designed around your requirements, we have a range of tried-and-tested solutions tailored to your industry, which speed up delivery and drive a successful outcome.
Legacy trading systems are often complex and costly to modify. We partner with you to implement a decoupled, scalable cloud architecture that flexes to meet your evolving business needs while enhancing operational efficiency. Our framework facilitates the incremental migration of trade lifecycle data flows from tightly coupled legacy systems to a cloud-native pipeline.
We are one of a small number of launch partners for AWS's D-CAT solution, which helps you assess your IT resilience against the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). Our consultants will guide you through a structured assessment and recommendations aligned with AWS best practices.
Software projects thrive when they begin with a clear, shared vision and a well-defined scope. These foundational elements help avoid common pitfalls such as delays, extensive rework, and unmet stakeholder expectations. In as little as 2–3 hours, our expert consultants will help you interrogate your idea to ensure it has clarity, alignment, and a robust path to success.
Each year we co-author the industry-leading ‘State of Open Source in Financial Services’ report in collaboration with FINOS, the Fintech Open Source Foundation. The report looks at the challenges facing the industry in adopting more Open Source technologies – and where the opportunities lie.

Our consultants have extensive experience of designing and implementing custom solutions in complex environments. Here are some recent examples our work with clients in financial services.
With 20% of Saxo Bank’s retail trading taking place through mobile devices, they needed a new platform to work seamlessly across a wide range of devices. Scott Logic helped create SaxoTraderGO, the HTML5 chart, which enables interactive trading.
We partnered with Newcastle Building Society to design, develop and launch its first mobile app which garnered outstanding customer feedback. Initiating their cloud journey, we also worked to establish a robust cloud infrastructure in which the app would be hosted.
Through their coaching style, Scott Logic’s team has empowered individuals in their new DevOps roles.
